The emergence of turbo-FLASH MR sequences allows us to acquire five 10-mm sections each second and thus to catch images of the soft tissues during function. One can trace the pathway of a liquid between the tongue, the soft palate, the epiglottis and the pharyngeal apparatus and analysis the role of the anatomic structures during swallowing. Restricted to the sagittal plane for the purpose of this preliminary study, this technique can be extended to the other planes to provide a three-dimensional analysis of oropharyngeal function or dysfunction.
涡轮快速自旋回波磁共振序列的出现使我们能够每秒获取五组10毫米厚的切片，从而捕捉软组织在功能活动时的图像。人们可以追踪液体在舌头、软腭、会厌和咽部结构之间的流动路径，并分析这些解剖结构在吞咽过程中的作用。为了这项初步研究，该技术目前仅限于矢状面，但它可以扩展到其他平面，以提供口咽功能或功能障碍的三维分析。
